scope:

This draft European Standard specifies a method for the determination of aflatoxin B1 in baby food by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with immunoaffinity cleanup. This method has been validated in a collaborative study via the analysis of both naturally contaminated samples ranging from 0,07 ìg/kg to 0,17 ìg/kg, and spiked samples ranging from 0,10 ìg/kg to 0,18 ìg/kg. The limit of quantification of the method is 0,05 ìg/kg (value derived from in-house and collaborative study), depending on the equipment used.
